The Grand Adventure is a generative story experience that takes place in the Lootverse: **Blaseball for Loot, effectively**. An early release of the first season, "Avenluutn," is nearly ready, so it's time to share a bit!

The gameplay loop

Anyone can tune in to the Grand Adventure site to read algorithmically generated stories with a consistent setting and characters: think of it like a comic book or newspaper serial, only algorithmically generated and in the world of loot. Stories are revealed gradually and build on each other as the adventurers discover loot, learn new skills, or suffer injuries. Adventurers become more capable as they collect more loot, skills, and traits.

After each story is finished, a single copy is auctioned as an NFT. In the future, players will also be able to affect the game world by voting to change rules, add characters, and so on.

Our main goals are

  1. to create the foundation of a lively, emergent world filled with developing, surprising characters. Fans can fill in the blanks with their own canon, which can be added into the world officially via community votes.
  2. to show that NFT content can be used as building blocks for meaningful experiences that don’t require owning the NFTs, and that doing this is positive for the NFT creators/holders.

(early build, probably has issues!)

Why does it matter to the Lootverse?

NFT Utility

The Grand Adventure uses existing Loot projects (original Loot, Names, Class, more in the future—Crypts and Caverns would work great!) as sources of content for its story generation. In other words, we’re a concrete example of an experience built on top of base Lootverse content.

Economics

It’s pretty important to us that the core experience of the Grand Adventure is accessible to everyone, and not just current NFT holders. That belief comes partly from our experience in the games industry in general, but we also think it makes sense from NFT-holders’ perspectives: by making it free to have the core experience, more people will care about and engage with the core content, and some of that value will flow back to the NFT holders.

Collecting the generated story NFTs won’t be required to participate, but we think players will value the ability to collect significant moments in the history of this world and these characters.
